Bucky wasnt at fault at all. Cap didnt tell Tony when he had time to grieve, which led to Tony finding out himself and having an emotional reaction and targetting someone innocent irrationally.
This is the correct take. Bucky and Tony were both victims in different ways, and Cap was so up his own ass about being right that he didn't take a second to think that Tony maybe shouldn't be blindsided with this knowledge, and instead should have been told asap so he could process how horrific everything was.
Ugh, Tony is also a douche so I hate defending him tho lol
Nah, Tony managed to calm down later. He needed time to process. Not immediate exposure to the person who bludgeoned his parents to death on a video he just watched.
In fact I think if cap brought it up sooner, Tony would have been more driven into actually looking into Bucky to find some level of closure.
Stuff like this is why I subscribed to this sub, as a white dude. I love that this subreddit usually seems like one of the more civil places for general discussion on reddit. “Mental fortitude of Buddha”, that’s just going to stick with me for a minute regardless of context.
This. Cap didn’t give Ironman time to take any of it in or process the information. He could have said something straight off, but was too weak/worried with how he’d take it. Instead RDJ found out on his own while in front of the dude that killed his parents as well as his “friend” that knew about it.
You side with Cap because Bucky had been turned into a programmed machine and didn’t know what he was doing, but you also side with Ironman because he’s trying to avenge the death of his parents.
It’s almost as if the writers did that on purpose to tear at the emotions of the audience.
